Accessibility standards review
Accessibility ensures digital products work for everyone, regardless of how they interact with interfaces. From screen readers to keyboard navigation, accessibility touches every aspect of design. Regular evaluation helps identify barriers that might exclude users.
Key areas to examine include:
- Screen reader support: Proper labels and content structure
- Keyboard navigation: Focus states and logical tab order
- Color contrast: Text and interactive element visibility
- Content scaling: How interfaces handle text enlargement
- Alternative text: Image descriptions and icon labels
- Dynamic content: How updates are announced to users
- Input assistance: Clear labels and error messages
Finding accessibility issues helps create more inclusive experiences while meeting legal requirements and expanding user reach.
Pro Tip: Test with keyboard only to reveal navigation and interaction issues.
